Biography
Morillo was born in Fuentesecas in the Province of Zamora, Spain, and in 1791 enlisted in the Spanish Marine Corps. He was wounded and captured in the 1805 Battle of Trafalgar by Britain, but in 1808 fought against the French on the side of Britain in the Peninsular War. On 14 August 1814 he was made the Captain-General of Venezuela and captured Cartagena de Indias in 1815. In June 1820 he signed a truce with Simon Bolivar that was broken when he seized control of Maracaibo, and shortly after Bolivar won the Battle of Boyaca. Morillo returned to Spain that year and fought in the Hundred Thousand Sons of Saint Louis French invasion of 1823, in which he was defeated. When Fernando VII of Spain restored the absolute monarchy he went to France, but fought in the First Carlist War for Isabella II of Spain's government against Infante Carlos' pro-Pragmatic Sanction rebels. He died in 1837 in France.
